| Obverse description | The toughra of Sultan Mehmed V occupies the upper centre within an ornate cartouche, framed by intricate guilloche scrollwork and arabesque borders. Arabic calligraphic inscriptions in bold naskh script run across multiple registers at centre, with the denomination numeral "1" repeated at left and right flanked by decorative rosettes. The printer's imprint appears at lower left, and the serial number is printed twice in red across the lower centre field. |

| Reverse description | A large central ogival cartouche with multi-lobed framing encloses several lines of Ottoman Turkish text in fine naskh calligraphic script, constituting the legal tender and redemption clause. The cartouche is set against a light guilloche underprint and enclosed by elaborate interlocking floral and geometric ornamental borders in brown and red tones. A small toughra vignette is positioned at the top of the central panel, directly above the text block. |
